This is fantasy, I am not a prepper or a doomsday thinker.
An electromagnetic pulse (commonly abbreviated EMP) just hit the USA.
After a few days
Money is worthless
Grocery Stores are empty and Looted
Electricity , Cell Phones and Water is off
Rioting in the streets.

Sorry dude. I have that covered. I already have about 20 people in my family that is going with me.
By the way I do have a large supply of antibiotics and medical supplies. Hand Crank radio. Large stock pile of dried goods. Very extensive arsenal of weapons. Been through 6 survival classes.

The first guy killed in my ex father-in-laws platoon in Vietnam? The one who had specialized jungle training. Just sayin'.

they are going to be busy, I bet you will be ignored and the gates will be shut and armed guards will shoot if you try to breach them.

Perhaps, but outside of my in-laws farm, I have nowhere to go. Failing at Fort Pickett or Fort Lee would send me back there to hunker down to try to stay alive as long as I could. (After I off my asshole neighbor, of course).
